Big Brother 9 Episode 11

Following their nomination, Matt & Natalie managed to take themselves off the block with the power of veto in Big Brother 9 Episode 10. That leaves Ryan & Allison and Adam & Sheila on the block for tonight’s vote. There’s a catch that has the whole house worried, though. When a siren sounds in the house, there will be a twist.

Allison’s looking forward to Sheila getting lost.

Matt thinks he’s playing both sides, and for now, it seems to be working. Problem is someone here’s going to end up on the jury (or at least that’s a theory… who knows how long they’ll actually make this season last). James realizes that Matt is playing both sides, another potential problem for him. In the season of bringing up everything in front of the entire house, James of course brings this up in a group, telling the rest of the house Matt is just playing them.

Natalie’s friends at the Bikini Coffee Shop tell us she let her past boyfriends walk all over her and that she comes on too strong (we’ve noticed). Matt’s friends know he doesn’t want to do his job for much longer and is focused on getting to the end and winning the money.

Julie tells us that once the evicted couple tries to leave, they’ll find out the door is locked, and the houseguests will be split up into individual players.

By a vote of 2-0, Allison & Ryan have been evicted from the Big Brother house. Just kidding. As they try to leave, the door’s locked, and the siren sounds. They return to the living room and are told they’re no longer couples. It’s still time to vote. The house must vote to evict either Allison or Ryan. Pointless. We all know Allison’s the target here. As afraid as they were about this siren, the house got exactly what it wanted. Allison couldn’t have asked for a worse twist.

Votes
Adam-Allison
Chelsia-Allison
Matt-Allison
Sheila-Allison
Natalie-Allison
James-Allison

By a unanimous vote, Allison is evicted from the Big Brother house. She quickly runs out the door, not interested in saying anything to anybody but her partner. Joshuah’s goodbye message is one last shot at Allison, but Sheila’s smart enough to say she’ll miss her.

The HOH competition is a true/false session based on the order in which things happened in the house. Everybody gets the first question right. James and Natalie are eliminated on the second question. Sheila, Matt, and Chelsia are eliminated. It’s between Ryan and Adam. Both get the next question wrong. Both get the next question right. Adam finally gets it wrong, and Ryan is the new HOH. Typical Big Brother. In the doghouse one week, in charge the next.

Before we leave, Julie tells us about one last twist. One of the evicted people will return to the house in an America’s Choice vote. Great, a popularity contest. There’s a reason they took the public vote away after season 1. It leaves me to thinking, though: does anybody actually like any of the evicted houseguests? The only choice I see here is Alex.
